by Rob Quinn, Newser Staff

(NEWSER) – Colorado student Karl Pierson walked into his high school intending to kill a lot more people than just thedebate coach who kicked him off the team, chilling new details suggest. Investigators say the 18-year-old entered Arapahoe High School with 125 rounds of ammunition, three incendiary devices, and letters and numbers written on his arm that corresponded to five locations inside the school, USA Today reports. He had also written the Latin phrase "Alea iacta est"—"The die has been cast"—on his forearm.
